[[NS TRUCK BACKING IN]]

Miaoli dairy famer: Keep coming, keep coming…

After driving the dairy cows to the Legislature, civil servants and dairy farmers from Miaoli originally planned on milking the cows and drinking the milk in front of everyone, showing that there is absolutely nothing wrong with milk from Miaoli farms, but hey, how comes the cows aren’t being let off the truck?

Reporter: you’re not going to let the cows down?

Miaoli dairy farmer: no, no. There’s going to be a traffic incident. I can’t control them.

Unable to milk the cows for the cameras, they decid to the drink milk they prepared beforehand. One slogan, one gulp.

Miaoli dairy famers: safe and clean, delicious and tasty!

Hang on a second, one of the reporters is late. Can you take another sip for us?

Reporter: wait! We’re not ready, almost there!

Miaoli dairy farmers: Miaoli milk, the best!

Reporter: we thought you were going to milk the cows.

Miaoli county commissioner Liu Zhenghong (pinyin): no no, when the cows are ready to be milked, they’ll go into the automatic milker. We can’t touch them with our bare hands, for fear of infecting them with bacteria.

Reporter: so when Ma Yingjeou was on his long stay, he did it wrong? He used his hands.

Miaoli county commissioner Liu Zhenghong: no no, don’t get me into trouble now.

Dragging these two poor cows and goats to Taipei, and drinking so much milk themselves in one day, these civil servants and dairy farmers from Miaoli wanted to show that their milk is really safe to drink.
